Grand Mondial Casino

150 Chances to Win Jackpot!

Introduction

Grand Mondial is an online casino that has been operating in the UK for more than 10 years. Originally managed and owned by the Playshare group, it is now operated by the Casino Rewards gaming group. Casino Rewards owns a very large number of online casinos and gaming sites - almost 30 by some estimates. This site was originally registered in Canada, and the Grand Mondial “brand” is now managed by Apollo Entertainment, a Maltese company that also holds the gaming licence from the Gambling Commission in the UK.

The site is well-designed with an emphasis on real-life people holding large winning cheques! It gets positive reviews for its large selection of games - possibly up to 500 titles. It also has all the big-name tie-ins, such as Game of Thrones.

Software

Grand Mondial is a Microgaming site, so if you're a fan of their slots and online games, you're going to love this casino. As far as the site’s own software goes, you can either download the client or simply play through the web interface. However, some of the games are only available via download, and these may be the ones with highly animated graphics since they tend to play too slowly unless downloaded.

Slots

Grand Mondial has 500 different casino games, including 3-reel and 5-reel slots. Unlike many other casinos, they point you toward a returns table so you can see which are the highest-paying slots. This is also useful before you sign up, as you can see the type of games they offer.

There are lots of popular slots, such as Mega Moolah, Tomb Raider, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Tarzan, Bridesmaids, Cash Splash, Wheel of Wealth, What a Hoot, and others, including the great Age of the Gods. If it’s vintage slots you’re after, the classic Couch Potato and others feature on the site.

There is a really good selection of blackjack games, and roulette fans are equally well-served with lots of different flavours of roulette including French, European and American. Grand Mondial video poker is pretty colourful. In fact, you might want to make sure you have your sunglasses handy.

However, there are also lots of great poker variants, including Aces and Faces, Jacks or Better, and Deuces Wild, along with Power Poker, which is a multi-hand game. Grand Mondial also offers Pai Gow, Keno, Sic Bo and Baccarat games, along with a host of others. Its games offering is among the most comprehensive around. It has to be said, however, that it is quite difficult to see what’s on offer before you decide to sign up.

Mobile product & app

There isn’t a dedicated app. The whole platform is based on Adobe Flash. It is very easy to access via a web browser on your iPhone or Android smartphone, and you can also use it on tablets. There are reports that mobile players are redirected to the Luxury Casino, where they can play Microgaming games with progressive jackpots and also get an app. Only players downloading onto a desktop PC can get the full Grand Mondial Casino functionality.

Live Casino

The casino does not currently offer any live casino games in the sense of having a real dealer in a studio, live dealing and playing with other players. Nevertheless, its video dealer games are pretty good, and it has a wide variety of them available to enjoy.

Banking

Grand Mondial can accept: -Credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard -Debit cards such as Electron, Entropay and Maestro -E-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill and NETELLER -Pre-paid Vouchers such as the PaySafeCard You can also make direct bank transfers to the casino.

Some credit card companies will not allow you to make a deposit to an online gaming site via their cards. There is a link that you can use to get help if you cannot pay in this way.

Withdrawal times

Grand Mondial has a pending period of two days, which is longer than some casinos but not that unusual. There is a minimum withdrawal amount of £50, and it is higher for counter cheques. Withdrawals are first credited against recent deposits.

Withdrawal times are as follows:

-2 to 5 days for credit and debit cards

-24 to 48 hours for E-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill and NETELLER

-3 to 7 days for bank transfers

-14 to 28 days for cheques

As usual, there are restrictions if you win a jackpot. If your winnings are 5 times or more the total amount that you have spent, you are only allowed to withdraw up to $4,000 a week or equivalent.

Support

There's a live chat facility and an email for support queries. The site would benefit from the “knowledge base” approach adopted by some other online casinos, where all of the information that players might need is gathered together in one place. However, support is offered 24/7.

Responsible gambling

The Grand Mondial logo strip at the bottom of the screen lists BeGambleAware, and clicking on the logo takes you straight to their site, where you can get help if you are experiencing problems with your gambling. Grand Mondial has a good range of resources for people who need to control their gaming. They have a self-assessment test that is a useful tool for those people who may feel they are gambling too much but not sure whether it's problematic.

There are links to GambleAware and Gamcare. You can also set session reminders so you can be reminded of how long you have been playing. Players can also limit deposits on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. They can also opt to take a break or self-exclude for various lengths of time. In terms of responsible gaming, this is a pretty good site.

Grand Mondial Security

Apollo Entertainment holds a gaming licence from the UK Gambling Commission. There are no sanctions or other adverse comments listed against the company. All transactions with the casino are made using digital encryption, so financial and personal details are secure. Grand Mondial has not had a security breach in the ten years they've been operating.

Fairness and legitimacy

Grand Mondial is pretty good at drawing customers’ attention to the pay table for each type of game and for each game within the different playing sections. The casino is independently reviewed and publishes the results of the fair play review on its website. It also has a fair play policy that is published on the site.

No deposit bonus

Grand Mondial doesn't have a no deposit bonus scheme. You have to sign up and make a deposit of at least £10.

Welcome bonus

The Grand Mondial offer will give you 150 chances to win the next jackpot if you deposit £10. Furthermore, they will give you a matched bonus of 100 per cent on your second deposit up to a top limit of £250. As soon as you make the first deposit, you get your 150 chances, which are actually 150 free spins on Mega Moolah with a chance to win the progressive jackpot.

Free spins bonus

In essence, the welcome bonus is really a free spins bonus. The 150 free “chances” to win the jackpot boil down to a welcome bonus of £37.50, which allows players to make 150 x 25p bets on Mega Moolah. There is a wagering requirement of 60 times on the £37.50 welcome bonus, and some games contribute a lower amount to the wagering requirement.

Bonus Codes, Vouchers and Promo Codes

Grand Mondial tends to concentrate on the casino rewards programme; see below for details.

Existing customer bonuses, loyalty programmes and reloads

The Casino Rewards program runs across the nearly 30 casinos in the group. The more you wager, the further you advance in the loyalty programme. There are six status levels, with rewards at each level. The benefits vary from different promotions to bigger bonuses, priority support for your enquiries, exclusive games, birthday gifts, personal hosts, and extra chances in the sweepstakes.

Every 100 points that a player wins is worth $1 in loyalty chips. There are also promotions that can earn you more points. The points are automatically added to your account. This is a pretty good scheme in the sense that the loyalty levels seem to have been carefully determined. The fact that you can take your loyalty promos and bonuses with you and play in another casino in the group is a significant benefit.
